My First Trophy

Katong Toastmasters Club is the pool of great speakers!

a Singapore senior journalist
a Marketing Director of well-known company
an English educated person
some of them working in finance companies
some of them are native speakers
......
all of them use high level of English
......

i joined this club more than 1 year and my productivity as low as my confidence to speak...hahahahaha...only about to reach P6 !...i swim as a housewife in the pool of expert people...i feel like i don't want to move at all...hahahahaha

through all my 5 projects i just won once for the Best Speaker ribbon

all of them come to deliver the speech
i come to deliver the food

all of them come to talk
i come to listen

all of them come for trophy
i come for the food

the aircon makes my body freezing
their speech frozen my brain

basicly...
i love to come to deliver the food as most of like and always praising the food
i love to come to listen and through the years my ability to listen became stronger

surprisingly...that speech as responding to the Table Topic Contest with a title “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” by Mother Theresa...gave me Trophy!

that day...
. i didn't comb my hair
. i put anyhow dress
. i was sick actually

as i plan to run away from this meeting but my friend caught me last mins and insist i can't withdraw from the competition last mins

I fail many times in the conventional meeting
and
for the first i join : the International Speech & Table Topic Contest
and i got the trophy *this must be a joke*

well...i guess the 'listening' have gave me something to speak out...hahaha

..........................
the real celebration is...
when i reached home and present to trophy to Torkis-Calvin-Rebecca
screaming. hugging. jumping. dancing
Calvin even hold the trophy tight and shaking unbelievable as this is the first trophy in our house
..........................

for me the real happiness not when i receive the trophy but when we celebrate as family...they knew many times i have to gave up toastmasters for them as they are my priority

Surprise di awal tahun

Tahun Baru...Hidup Baru...Harapan Baru... ...komplit deh... Ternyata surprise diawal tahun OK juga ya...hehehehe...semua ini berhubungan dengan our baby... Sugar Level Awal desember lalu...pas lagi scanning dokternya bilang baby-nya a bit fat *waks* ...aku sering baca-baca di internet...klo baby yang fat itu gak baik...banyak gak baiknya deh...akhirnya dokter langsung minta aku test darah karna dia curiga sugar level-ku naik fyi karna papaku seorang penderita diabetes jadi diawal kehamilan aku udah jalanin diabetes test...saat itu sugar levelku berada di level ideal (5.4) ... Hari itu pas dicek...ternyata sugar levelku naik tinggi sampe 9.6 *o'o* ...dokter langsung minta test darah lengkap 3 hari kemudian...ada kemungkinan karna aku baru abis breakfast jadi sugar level naik, tapi menurut dokter harusnya naik gak setinggi itu... aku sendiri gak merasa konsumsi sugar yang tinggi...malahan sejak hamil gak doyan ngemil sama sekali...makan bener" sesuai porsi gak ada yang berlebih

NO maid + no BS = ?

HHhhhhmmm...mari kita liat formula yang ada BS=Babysitter NO maid + No BS = Sleepless Night ...sejak calvin lahir sampe sekarang hampir 4 bulan...aku sama sekali belum pernah merasakan tidur malam yang pulas sampe pagi... NO maid + No BS = Struggle ...tentu saja...aku komit ke calvin untuk ngasih dia asi ekslusif selama 6 bulan, jelas aja aku harus selalu ON saat dia minum susu dan anak yang minum asi tidurnya lebih singkat dari anak yang minum formula... No maid + No BS = No time for myself ...semua waktuku hanya untuk calvin...klo orang lagi jatuh cinta ngomong you are my everything keliatan picis banget...tapi bagiku kalimat itu kena banget ke calvin...he is my world...apapun yang aku kerjakan pasti berhubungan dengan calvin ...yang namanya jalan-jalan, santai-santai, kongkow-kongkow sampe malam sama teman-teman udah di delete tuntas dari kamus saya...hehehehehe... No maid + No BS = stuck @ home ...aku cuman bisa keluar ama torkis, mungkin ini lebih ke alasan malas, klo keluar strol

Siang & Malam

let's open our mind... Perbedaan ama siang dan malam significant sekali...seperti gelap dan terang...ato bisa juga dibilang 'extremely different' ...dengan kasat matapun kita bisa melihat perbedaannya gak hanya itu kita juga bisa merasakannya....seperti panas dan dingin. Ilustrasi lain yang biasanya untuk membedakan sesuatu yang 'extremely different' ...langit dan bumi...semua orang tau betapa perbedaan itu bener-bener nyata... Nah...itu cuman introduction...aku lagi pengen bahas tentang all about medical di indo dan spore...mulai dari Fact, Service, Dokter, Professionalism dan Technology di bidang medical... aku mulai dengan FACT : Fact 01 : 3 tahun yang lalu *2003* ...seperti diceritakan disini *testimony I-III* ...dokter yang menangani aku saat itu sempat beri komentar begini... "dokter spore dan indonesia itu seperti siang dan malam" Waktu aku itu berpikir "huh...sombong banget sih nih dokter" Fact 02 : Waktu berlalu dan 1 taon lebih setel
